USS Seleya 10502.20
"Melotian Madness" - Part 7

SUMMARY: It has been established that Nadaras is on the Blue Delta Swan, which had left the base a few minutes before they could be stopped. Now the Seleya is on a stern chase, and who knows what they will find...

<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Alters the Seleyas course slighly to increase decrease interception time::  CO:  We will intercept the Swan in 10 minutes.....Mark.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Moves towards his seat on the Bridge ::

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Excellent.

Captain_Muir says:
XO: Open a channel.

Captain_Muir says:
CNS: Are you reading anything from the vessel?

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Shakes her head::  CO: We're still too far away, sir.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: How many lifeforms aboard?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Enters in a command:: CO: Channel open.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::In his office::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Scans the Swan, comparing the readings to her manifest::  CO:  16 sir, cross-referencing against the ships passenger manifest.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods and give the CO a slight smirk::  CO: Their heavy by 1 sir.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: BDS: Blue Delta Swan, this is Captain Adam Muir of the USS Seleya. You are hereby ordered to cut engines and prepare to be boarded, on orders from Starfleet Command. Please comply to make this easier on everyone.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Can you isolate her lifesign?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO: I'll try...

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Attempts to isolate the different bio-signatures::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Shakes his head::  CO:  Negative sir, were still too far out.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Keep trying. Time to intercept?

Host Swan_CO says:
ACTION: On the viewscreen appears the Captain of the Blue Delta Swan. He looks like a pirate... yet speaks very eloquently.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Check the Seleyas course and speed::  CO:  2 minutes...Mark.

Host Swan_CO says:
@COM: Seleya: Why Captain, whatever reason would you have to detain a law-abiding citizen like me? My ship is on legitimate business.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: BDS: I'm not at liberty to discuss that at this moment. I can say that you will not be under arrest and no one will be hurt.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
CO: That's not true, sir.

Captain_Muir says:
CNS: Excuse me?

Host Swan_CO says:
@COM: Seleya: That sounds vaguely like a threat, Captain.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Pulls the Seleya right over top of the Swan::  CO: We've got them sir.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: BDS: I assure you it wasn't.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
CO: I mean the Captain of the Blue Delta Swan.  He's not on legitimate business.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Take no action, let's not agitate anyone.

Captain_Muir says:
CNS: Can you tell anything more?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods::  CO:  Shes running with a damping field engaged, we cant get an isolated scan sir.  Were not going to be beaming her out of there.

Host Swan_CO says:
@COM: Seleya: Then why should I heave to and have you paw my merchandise?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Scans the Swan, pinpointing her propulsion and shields, then scaning for any hidden armament::

Captain_Muir says:
COM: BDS: This is an official request from Starfleet Command. Under Article 51.2 of the Federation Trading Charter, Starfleet vessels have the right to search and inspect all vessels operating in Federation space.

Captain_Muir says:
*CMO* Report to the Transporter room.

Captain_Muir says:
XO, CNS: Form a boarding party and report to the transporter room.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
*CO*: Yes Sir.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Sends the tactical data to the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Nods to the captain:: CO: Aye sir ::gets up out of his seat and heads to the TL::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Gets a medkit out of a drawer, attaches it to his belt and leaves sickbay::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Follows Darklighter into the Turbolift::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Adds the ships schematics and deck layout with tac data::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
XO: Commander, the captain of the Blue Delta Swan knows Nadaras is on board.  He's protecting her.

Host Swan_CO says:
@COM: Seleya: Then I suppose you want me to drop from warp, have you board my ship, terrify my passengers and rummage through my stuff? I assure you Captain, I will lodge a formal complaint to Starfleet Command.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Enters a TL:: TL: Transporter room.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: BDS: That is your right as a Federation citizen. Please drop your shields and power down any propulsion and weapons systems.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Leaves the TL and heads towards the TR::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
CNS: Understood, we'll just have to be on our guard then. TL: Transporter room 1.

Host Swan_CO says:
@COM: Seleya: Weapons? On a cargo transport? If you think so. ::rolls his eyes:: Captain, I am doing this under protest, and I will have you and your crew disgraced throughout the Federation. ::huffs and closes the connection::

Captain_Muir says:
:: Rolls his eyes ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Shakes his head::  ALL: Yeah.......

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Confirm their power down.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::scans the Swan::

Host Swan_CO says:
ACTION: The Blue Delta Swan drops from warp and lowers her shields.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Walks into TR1::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Exits the TL and makes his way to TR1::

Captain_Muir says:
*XO, CNS, CMO* Your first priority is to find and apprehend Nadaras using whatever means possible. Try not to piss this guy off too much though, I don't feel like answering questions infront of an inquiry. Get to it, people.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Follows Darklighter into the Transporter Room::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Drops the Seleya from warp and moves up to transport range::  CO:  Shes complied, but she's still runing that dampenig field.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Power up our tractor beam, but don't use it

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Over the entire ship?

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
All: Evening.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  I can't get a decent reading on that section of the ship sir.

Captain_Muir says:
Which section is it?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Just this area, on her third deck.  ::brings the ships schematics up on the main viewer::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
*CO* Captain please, I'm not the type of guy who beams onto a ship and causes trouble.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Enters TR 1 and grabs a tricorder and phaser::

Captain_Muir says:
*XO* Which one of us is supposed to be convinced by that, Nathan? :: amused ::

Host Swan_CO says:
@::Makes his way to the transporter room of his ship, getting some of his bigger crewmen to join him there::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  She's also running an internal shield generator her sir, on her cargo bays.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Bring up a standard schematic for this type of ship

Captain_Muir says:
What should be there?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Doesn't answer the captain he just smirks and steps up onto the transporter pad::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Coughs::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Pulls up the ship class design schematics and cross-references them against the Swan::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
::Steps onto the pad::

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Well whatever they're doing I don't care about for the moment, I'm just concerned about apprehending our fugitive, if they comply we'll consider letting them go about their business.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Steps onto the pad::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Powers up the tractor beam::  CO:  Aye sir.

Host Swan_CO says:
ACTION: An external view of the two ships show the Seleya looming over the Swan... a few times larger and definitely swifter.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Turns to the CO::  CO:  Sir, I recommend going to yellow alert and powering phasers.  If she decides to run, the could employ multiple ships, try and use a shellgame against us.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
::Turns to the CNS and CMO::  All: Ready?

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
::Nods::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
XO: Aye.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
TR Chief: Beam away chief.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: I don't want to alert anyone just yet. Raise shields after transport, though.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Aye sir.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Checks the schematics again::  CO:  I'm not seeing any significant alteration to her hull design sir, beyond cosmetic.  If shes been altered, its too small to be apparent.

Host Swan_CO says:
ACTION: The three officers disappear in a swirl of blue sparkles, only to appear on the Swan moments later. They are greeted by a view of the Captain, plus a few BIG crewmen. The civilians eye the four man security escort with speculation.

Host Swan_CO says:
@XO/CNS/CMO: Welcome to the Swan.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@::Materialises onboard and looks around::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Swan_CO: Thank you for having us captain.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Maintains scans on the Swan, looking for any alteration in her power relays or launch preperations::

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Transfer that dampend location to the Away Team and tell them to invesigate.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods::  CO:  Already done sir.

Host Swan_CO says:
@XO: Well, now what can I do for you? Line up the passengers so you can terrify them? Open my cargo holds to open space?

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Whispers::  XO: Commander, I would verge on the cautious here.  We don't want to start a fight.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Swan_CO: No captain, i'd like everyone to remain as they are while my team conducts a small no fuss search.

Host Swan_CO says:
@XO: Search? Are you hunting a murderous fugitive?

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@XO: Sir, I've just picked up something.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@CNS: What is it?

Host Swan_CO says:
@XO: Commander? You haven't answered my question.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@XO: Nadaras.  She's here.  She's worried that we'll discover her here.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Swan_CO: Yes i'm searching for someone, and the sooner i check this ship the sooner i'll be out of your hair.

Host Swan_CO says:
@::Sighs:: XO: Then just get on with it. I am needed on the bridge, but my "security officers" will accompany you.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Leans forward::  Self:  Go ahead......try to run.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Swan_CO: Thank you captain. ::motions for his security to watch the swans security:: CNS: And idea where she is?

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@XO: Aft, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@::Nods:: CNS/CMO: Lets check the cargo bay. ::Makes his way aft::

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The Swan sits there, dead in space, not even appearing to try and fire up her engines...

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@::Follows the XO and instinctively reaches for his tricorder::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Lets Darklighter take the lead and follows closely behind, not daring to look back at the men behind her::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@::Enters the cargo bay and takes out his tricorder and begins to scan the bay::

Host Nadaras says:
@::Listens for anybody approaching, after feeling the ship dropping from warp::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Wishes he was on the Swan::

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Tries to stretch out for more thoughts::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@::Enters the cargo bay and picks up a spanner he sees in the corner::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@Self: Could always use this... ::pockets it then starts to scan using his tricorder::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@::Moves over to the wall and slowly walks towards the back, still scanning::

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: Without warning the Swan raise shields and moves away at full impulse, ready to engage her warp engines.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  She's trying to run sir!

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@::Places his other hand on his phaser::

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Engage tractor beam!

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Follows the Swan, fires the Tractor beam::  Swan:  Oh no you don't!

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@XO: She's here, sir.  ::looks up as she hears the impulse engines fire up::

Host Nadaras says:
@<Swan_CO> CTO: Create a feedback loop along their tractor beam.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@::Looks around and continues his scans::

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The goons all get a gleam in their eyes as the ship starts moving, and they close in on the Starfleet crew.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@::Turns and fires on the goons::

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The tractor beam holds, the Swan's attempt at a feedback loop failing.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Pulls the Seleya backwards, stopping the Swan::  CO:  Tractor beam engaged and holding sir, their still trying to run.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Open a chanel.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO: Their trying a feedback loop sir, if she breaks free...

Host Nadaras says:
@::Watches from the darkness as the SF crew and the Swan goons entertain each other, and slips towards the exit::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@::Shouts at his sec team:: Sec: Open up guys.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  To the Away team or the Swan sir?

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: The Swan.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Moves over to the Tactical Station ::  FCO: Lock onto our team.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Locks onto the away team, then opens a channel to the Swan::  CO:  Team locked and channel open sir.

Captain_Muir says:
COM: BDS: Cease and desist from your actions immeadiatly, or I will be forced to employ force!

Captain_Muir says:
:: Targets their propulsions systems, opens up with a phaser barrage ::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@::Watches as the Sec team opens fire::

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The sec team dispatches the goons with surgical precision.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Keep the lock until further notice.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Manuvers the Seleya back and to the starboard of the Swan, keeping an eye on the tractor beam::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Sec: Good work guys secure this room :: moves to the CNS:: CNS: Cna you still sense her?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Aye sir.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Status of their propulsion systems?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Desperatly wants to disable the Swan::  CO:  Their impulse engines are starting to overheat.  They keep this up, their going to take out their impulse deck, and half the damn ship with it.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@XO: She's near the exit.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Inform me when it becomes critical.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@CNS: lets go, ::moves towards the exit, phaser still drawn::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Aye sir, at this rate, it wont be long.

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The Swan's captain comes to the same realization as A'an and the engines powers down... he's definitely not suicidal.

Captain_Muir says:
:: Opens up a phaser barrage on their shield generator ::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Guess he's not as stupid as most, they just powered their engines down.

CNS_Ens_Modalis says:
@::Draws her phaser hesitantly::

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: If he weren't stupid, he wouldn't be trying to run...

Host Nadaras says:
@::Tries to blend into a cargo container, clutching a phaser::

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@::Watches as everyone draws their weapons::

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Nods::  CO:  I said he wasn't as stupid as most.....thats not saying much.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: ::Smirks:: Indeed.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Status of the shield generator?

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Nadaras: The Seleya has this ship, your trapped in this room, I know your smart so why don't you give yourself up.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO: At any rate, I'd say diplomacy has definitly gone out the door at this point.

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: Almost as an afterthought the shields drop as well, but the dampening field is still active.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Her sheilds are down, but the dampening feild is still operating.  Guess they just dont want to give it up.

Host Nadaras says:
@XO: Do you take me for a silly field operative? Guess again, little man.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Lock on to a tricorder and beam it to the centre of that field.

CMO_LTJg_Atreides says:
@Self: Should've gassed this place.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: Link it up to ships computers.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::Beams a tri-corder into the center of the dampening field::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Nadaras: Ok ::turns to the sec team:: Sec: Line up, set phasers to wide spray.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: What are the readings?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Links the ships computer to the tri-corder::

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Sec: Take aim.....

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The tricorder sends back very faint data, it is still within the dampening field, it shows lifesigns in a 2 meter radius... and Nadaras is not in it.

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
CO: She's not there sir, but someone else is.

XO_Cmdr_Darklighter says:
@Sec: Fire.

Captain_Muir says:
*XO* I know you're a bit busy at the moment, but investigate this location :: transfers it to his tricorder :: ... as soon as you can.

Captain_Muir says:
FCO: What other data on the 2 people there do we have?

FCO_Lt_Aan says:
::Shakes his head::  CO:  Very little sir, the tricorder is barely able to make out anything at all inside that field.

Host Nadaras says:
ACTION: The widespread phaser stun clips Nadaras, and she topples from behind the container she was hiding.

Host Nadaras says:
<<<<< Pause Mission >>>>>
